In recent report by Mr.. G. Strachey,
British charge d'atlarcs at Dresden,
some interesting data are given on the
subject of the hours of labor in various
parts of Germany. The statistics rclat-
ing to the hours of labor, which have lately
been collected, show that the greatest di.
yersities prevail even within the limits of
the same place and class of occupation.
The average length of a German work
ing day Intervals of rest deducted) is
eleven, or, at most twelve hours. But Il
day of ten hours or less is very common.
The industrial employments connected
with stone, earth and the necessaries and
luXuries of life entail exceptionally severe
and prolonged labor. The same may be
spinning, and of iron founding,
in which, however, long periods
of rest are usual. Persons IN
charge of machinery and boilers
are liable to unbroken attendance of
from twelve to thirteen hours, although
they have high degree of responsibility.
The length of the working day is subject
to great variations from place 10 place.
1t is maximum IN east and west
Prussia; in Pomcrania 1t averages eleven
hours; in Posen, ten to eleven in Hanover
and Schleswig- -Holsteln, eleven; in DreS-
den and Bautzen, eleven; Zwickau and
Messen, eleven to twelve; Leipsic, ten to
twelve; Hamburg, ten to eleven; Bremen,

furnaces. lead, silver and coke works,
flour mills, dyemg- works and printing
Offices. In the mining industry the rule
is continuous day and night work in
twelve hour relays, two hours of rest in
cluded. For part of Bavaria it is reported
that in the larger part OF the industrial
concerns employing 10000 hands, the
daily time exceeds eleven hours. and in
200 concerns with about 5000 hands, the
600 concerns employing $4,000 hands, it
is less than eleven hours. On the whole,
if extra work is deducted, the labor in
the manufacturing industes is lighter
than that usual in handicraft and trade,
but is more closely tied down by rules.

Devil Extracting I'm India.

Times of India: The Madras Small
Cause court has brought to light gen
tIeman who gains his living by devil ex-
tracing. This highly lucrative employ
ment appears to be recognized as II per-
fectly legitimate profession. There was
no disguise IN court as to the exact nature
of the claim. In fact, the Judge, Il native
gentleman, appeared to resent the skep-
ticism of the defendants pleader as to
the possibility of casting out devils and
his jocularty at the expense of tie plain
tiil's profession. "What, If a doctor does
not cure, he cannot recoyer!' his honor
exclaimed on one occasion; and on an
other, when the defendants plcadcr cX.
pressed his disbelief in devil extracting,
he Inconscqucntly observed, but you be-
lievc in haunted houses?" To this re-
mark the pleader replied, There may be
n spiritual manifestation, " from which it
would appear that he is not altogether
free from the superstition which he ridi-
culcd.
The plaintiffs cross-eXamination was
very diyerting. Diseases, he said, were
of three kinds-mental, spiritual and
physical. Some physical sickncsses he
could cure by his art, but not every case
Asked if he could cure love pains, he re-
piled, That is a very hard pain TO be
cured; even my father could not cure
that" He could not cure person un'
less he were a negative.
Other witnesses called described the
nature of the plaintiffs treatment and its
success. 1t was inferred that the evil
spirit of the patient in this case was of
the female kind. At the conclusion OF
the evidence the worthy judge dismissed
the sult, not because he was of opinion
that there was no cause of action, but
because there was no evidence to support
the contract sued upon.

Van Wyck's Defeat.

The defeat of Charles II. Van Wyck
for reelection as United States senator
will cause deep seated resentment among
the masses of this state, who have been
defrauded of their choice, proclaimed
through conventions and expressed at
the ballot-box. The reversal of the pop
ular will is in this instance not merely
the upsetting of a factlonal leader, but a
base betrayal of popular confidence and
trust. All the desperate eXertions of cor
porate monopoly with the combined en-
ergy of corruption and high
pressure, all the combinations of
vindictive personal enemies, would have
proved unavaillng had it not been for the
cowardly treachery of members of the
legislature elected under solemn pledges
to voice the will of their respective dis
tricts and the state at large. The true
blue men who stood by Charles H. Van
Wyck through thick and thin made a
brave and manly struggle against all odds
and were sure of success but for the in
fanny of half dozen Judases who sold
out their maker for paltry gain or prom
ised political advantage. So far as Gen
eral Van Wyck is concerned the result
can be borne with equanimity. But the
people whose cause he championed and
for whom he stood boldly as the embodi-
ment OF vital Issues that concern the well
fare of the entire nation, will regard his
withdrawal from the United States senate
as deplorabe loss of a strong, able and
faithful public servant.
1t is needless to say that this paper has
fought the battle of Charles II. Van
Wyck with loyal devotion, not only to
himself, but chiefly to the great
represented. Financially and polit-
ically the defeat of Mr.. Van
Wyck- is of no moment to the BEE.
1t has fought this battle unselhshly with
out expectancy of any other reward than
that which the people of Nebraska would
share in common with it. Men 20 down.
but principles survive, Political leaders
fall by the wayside, put the great news.
paper conducted in behalf of the popular
welfare lives on and prospers so long as
it is not recrcant to its supporters.
To General Van WYck himself the
heartfelt sympathy of thousands of pro-
ducers and workers all over the country
will be extended without stint. He will
retire from the position which he has
honored with consciousness that in the
discharge of his duty he has been fol
lowed not only by the approval of his
own conscience but by tho esteem and
confidence of the people whom he has so
we'll represented during his senatorial
term
